Awesome international trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire looks epic!

We've seen some pretty groovy (and blood-soaked) promotional images from Noam Murro's 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE, including a poster with an ocean of blood and some great Comic-Con character posters. Today we up the ante with a badass international trailer for the prequel, which releases next spring. Turn the sound up and dim the lights...this one looks to be just as epic as the original film!

Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war.

“300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

Produced by Zack Snyder, 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE also stars Eva Green, Lena Headey and Rodrigo Santoro. It opens in March 2014.
